Thanks for the feedback. I will try out the nanowebs for my next string change. I just put on a set of D'Addario EXP160 coated nickels (hadn't heard about the Elixirs until after I purchased the D'Addarios from JustStrings.com(yes, great company)).

Are you using the Elixirs on your Conklin fretless? I didn't think they even made a 6 string set, let alone a 7 string set.

As a matter of fact (if it isn't a typo), www.juststrings.com has 6-string sets, .130 - .032, in Nanoweb -- for the same price as the 5-string set! Jump 'em now, guys... This litle tidbit was NOT on the site a month ago. Must be a new introduction! AND, the low B is taperwound -- also a (welcome) change!

I do have to use an oddball high F. Right now it is a D'Addario plain (unwound) .020". I tried both the wound .020" Bass Boomer and Ken Smith strings, and they both sound much weaker than the Elixir C, so I'm back to the plain D'Addario which balances nicely in both volume and tone. Damn thing is like a cheese slicer, though -- I actually cut my left fingertip on a slide after one got a little rusty. Ah, well -- they only cost $1.54, so I guess I'll just have to change 'em more often!
